Just like the people on the CAC, the people at Sustainable Fairfax are volunteers - people who are our neighbors, spending their time trying to help us all make the world a little bit better.
One thing that many of us are experiencing during these virus times is that we are working on our houses, we are receiving Amazon packages, we are generating - a LOT of waste.
When we, at the Town, look at our carbon footprint, we generate more than 2000 tons of carbon from our collective trash. For us to achieve our carbon goals, we are going to need to continue to maximize our recycling. BUT, recycling is not a trivial exercise anymore. Knowing how to do it right takes a bit of attention. (In all honesty, i cant tell you the number of times i have tried to recycle some piece of plastic, THINKING it was recyclable, only to discover from my more informed partner of the error of my ways).
Sustainable Fairfax has put together a great line-up of classes that will help people think about how you can start to take these steps. The chats are short and snappy, and a great way to get to know other people in town.
I hope as many people as possible can take advantage of this opportunity, and I look forward to meeting you there! (Click here to learn more)
And, please join us at the CAC; we always need more talent and energy, and please join the Sustainable Fairfax team. Together, we can make a difference.
